In this episode of Savoir-Faire, Alex Assouline joins Prosper and Martine Assouline to explore the story behind Assouline's Library Collection. Together they trace the defining materials, walnut wood, brushed brass, and pebbled leather, and the organic pebble shape that threads through every piece. Prosper recalls discovering the brand's "A" emblem in Shanghai over 20 years ago, while Martine reflects on the library as the most personal room in a home. Discover a conversation about craft, heritage, and what it means to fully own the world of the contemporary library.

Beyond The Cover with Rafa Nadal
In this episode of Beyond The Cover, Rafael Nadal reflects on the making of Rafa Nadal, a visual biography that looks past the twenty-two Grand Slam titles and fourteen crowns at Roland-Garros to the person who won them. Written by Jon Wertheim, the book draws on images from the private collections of Nadal’s inner circle, alongside personal reflections from those closest to him, including his wife Mery Perelló, his uncle and lifelong coach Toni Nadal, and King Felipe VI. The conversation travels from a small island in the Mediterranean to the red clay of Paris, exploring family, discipline and the quiet humility that has defined one of the most extraordinary careers in the history of the game.

Savoir Faire: Formula 1: The Impossible Collection
In this episode of Savoir-Faire, Alex, Prosper and Martine Assouline revisit Formula 1: The Impossible Collection and the year they spent creating a scent, sprayed by hand onto every copy, evoking the feeling of being on a racetrack. Prosper explains why he has always compared the maison to a racing team, where success is achieved by every person working together with precision, and Martine recounts the hunt for the 100 hundred images that best represent the sport, and the pleasure of opening a book years after finishing it and still wanting to turn the page.
